Have: Debt to Society, Erratic Luck (hard copies), Ancestral Ally (pdf).

Want: Books, painted minis, store credit, charitable donations, or assurances that the boons will go to new and deserving players.

I'd love a Sovereign Court shirt. Wouldn't mind a Scarab Sages or Liberty's Edge one, either.

Wait, there's a new Sovereign Court logo? Where?

I voted for the Hollowheart Conquest, because although I thought Down the Blighted path was a great entry, I'm a sucker for sandbox-style adventures, and I really want to see it fleshed out.

It has to be an improvised weapon in order to get Sneak Attack damage with Catch Off-Guard.

Expanded Narrative is the name of the boon.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll have time for this game. Thanks- hopefully my setting element will make it more interesting regardless. Happy gaming.

I understand that is the intention.

I'm interested, always liked the way FATE drives the story forward. As a setting element, I will propose an oppressive magocracy.

Have: Erratic Luck, Sky Citadel Scholar
Want: Student of Runes, or other offers.

I find d20pfsrd to be useful for finding out if something is a thing that I would be interested in, as it shows me which book has what. I have based all my non core purchases up till now on what I've found on there

"Trust, but verify"

Particularly, in this case, the site is somewhat misleading because it displays a version of the hippogriff mount on the archetype's page that is different than the one you can actually select.

Thanks for sharing. It does look fun to play. Do you have the statblocks ready as well?

As Croak sits, a rag doll with a grin made out of stitches clambers up his shoulder and pulls itself up to Croak's head with the aid of one large ear. Croak listens intently to the doll, who remains silent, then announces, "Toad says Chief want us to make more friends. Make them dead and make them friends."

Ah, I see what I was doing wrong. Unfortunately, I compiled a statblock and then the site deleted it, and I'd rather not do it again. Is it necessary to copy the mechanics of the class over?

Here's a sheet for Croak Bone-Friend. I'm not sure how to create an alias with the information - I haven't really done PbP on these forums before - but I can make one with the name and an image if that works.

I'd like to make a Mesmerist if I can get in a game before the deadline, but it seems like the early levels will be tough once you run out of spells. The Medium also seems like it could be really interesting to RP, but the mechanics are a little unintuitive for me.

If you still have room, I'd be interested as a morbid Goblin Occultist whose only friends are the skeletons and zombies he raises.

Thank you.

I'd like to see what you've got, if you're ready to send it out. My email address is ehardwig@charter.net.

Please cancel my AP subscription. Although I've been enjoying Iron Gods, I decided to support my local game shop and buy them as they come out instead. Thanks!

I have a Swashbuckler and an Investigator, which I made after getting tired of failing skill checks. I've mostly seen people playing Slayers, Swashbucklers, and Bloodragers.

I'm still looking for a Student of Runes boon, but so far I haven't been able to find one. If someone does have one, PM me and we'll see if we can work something out.

I'm also open to any other offers. Currently I have the following:

• Erratic Luck
  
• Sky Citadel Scholar
  
• Ancestral Ally

They were also options on the Gen Con GM Reward boons for the last two years, IIRC. But yeah, there's no real way to prohibit it but it's strongly discouraged. The closest I've seen done is the trading of books and minis.

Thanks for the clarification.

From the ACG, the Thrown Weapon combat style includes False Opening as a bonus feat that can be taken at 6th level. The feat's wording seems to assume that the user has a way of not provoking opportune attacks, but by my reading it does not strictly preclude that possibility.

Benefit: Choose a ranged weapon or a thrown weapon. When you make a ranged attack using that weapon, you can choose to provoke an attack of opportunity from one or more opponents who threaten you. You gain a +4 dodge bonus against such attacks. An opponent that makes such an attack and misses you loses his Dexterity bonus to AC against you until the end of your turn.

I see three possibilities. Either it's unusable without the prerequisite, it provokes an extra attack of opportunity in addition to the one the aggressor would normally get, or it just provides extra benefits when an AoO is provoked from throwing within range. There may be something else I haven't considered, though. By RAW, how would it work?

5d6b4, perhaps?

Ah, okay. It's difficult to tell, on the Intertubes.

Assuming that's not a rhetorical question, you can probably find someone willing to trade something interesting in the boon trading thread here, mentioned several times above. I'd be happy to trade myself if you PM me, but you can probably find someone with a better offer.

Personally, I rather like Quinn the iconic Investigator. Brings a pretty good mix of skills and not terrible combat ability, and I like his backstory.

Module length may be appropriate. I'd suggest just including everything you want to and seeing how long it is afterwards.

Have: Erratic Luck, Sky Citadel Scholar, Ancestral Ally

Want: Interesting offers- PM me.

A useless Strength increase and two feat slots to get this into my Swashbuckler's build? Totally worth it.

This will be a perfect way to introduce my interested friends to Pathfinder. Been looking forward to these- thanks John!

I like the idea of Starsoul/Void-Touched, but the mechanics don't appeal to me. The Rakshasa bloodline can be fun, particularly when combined with a Tiefling's alternate skill bonus for a massive Bluff score.

If you wanted to dip, you could take a level of Magus with the Eldritch Scion archetype and the Draconic bloodline instead.

As-is, you wouldn't have to have the Draconic bloodline to enter, but upon taking your first level you would be forced to retrain the bloodline, since the ACG states you can't have two different bloodlines at the same time.

Out of curiosity, could you run an AP in a different setting? For example, could I run Skulls & Shackles as a Spelljammer game with the players as space pirates? Or would something like that modify the story too much?

As long as it is still recognizable as Skull and Shackles, you should be alright.

Of course if you are changing the setting to space and changing the system, I am not sure how recognizable it would be.

Oh, I'd run it as Pathfinder, just change the setting. It's mostly hypothetical anyway, though.

Any news? If I want to combine the accounts, who should I contact? Should I post in the Customer Service forum?

I'd be happy to look through either and give what feedback I can. Mr. Compton is probably right about the advantages of waiting for feedback on the complete version, though.

I just realized that this plus that one boon will let you create an Owlbear-riding Cavalier at level 1. I do hope that issue with Undersized Mount not functioning gets resolved.

Thanks for the advice. I have some players with a fondness for pirates, but from what I've heard The Wormwood Mutiny is a bit of a trudge. If you've played it, would you disagree with that?

Have: Ancestral Ally

Want: Student of Runes

Level 8 Lore Oracle, I think. Perhaps an elf, for being relatively easy to disguise and having a long lifespan. Not as flashy as some of the other options, but it's hard to say no to healing spells, and the kind of knowledge something like Focused Trance would grant you in a world where the vast majority of people are untrained in most knowledge skills is difficult to even conceive of. And it would be a lot easier to conceal abilities like these than if you started setting people on fire with your mind or introducing millions of new dollars into the economy.

I'm actually looking for a few of these as well, so this is a very helpful thread. Do you know if Raiders of the Fever Sea would work?

Personally, I played it when I was pretty new to PFS, with a GM running it cold, and it's still one of my favorite scenarios. I don't imagine it would be a good introduction to someone completely new, though.

Sounds neat. What would happen if the PCs fail?

The post in question is here. I'm not sure it was definitive, though.

So it seems like the general consensus is that the Basic flip-mats are more useful than the Terrain Multi-Pack due to the problem of marker visibility? I looked at a few of the reviews and there seems to be the same issue.

Would you be willing to post some of what you have done already? I'm very curious.
